One of the best aspects of music is its ability to connect people from all corners of the globe. Our next guest comes from Australia, a place which isn't always known for its music but indeed has a thriving underground scene thanks to the hard work of locals. Magda Bytnerowicz is one of these special few who have helped build up the musical landscape around her both as a promoter and as a DJ. Her inspired and dream-like sets have been known to sweep the audience away to a place of pure ecstatic joy. It is exactly this keen ear for atmosphere and deep understanding of musical sequence that has made her a perfect pick for UNRUSH. So relinquish yourself in these impressions of the southern hemisphere with this impeccable mix.

A few words from Magda about the story of her mix:

My young son is an early riser and he went through a phase of waking just before 5am for a few months. It's such a strange time of the morning - somehow 4:45am feels very different to 5:15am if you have a whole day ahead of you. It's still dark, and too early for breakfast and coffee and getting ready for the day, but somehow, we're awake and have to fill the time. This mix is the sort of music I would play in that eerie hour and a bit while we waited for the sun to come up and the day to begin - not really truly 'ambient' as it needed to be a little more active, and feel as though time is moving forward. Also, a little bit of an Australian digi dub focus came out of it too, old and new.

Thanks a lot https://soundcloud.com/magdabytnerowicz

Annabelle Gaspar has been DJing for 30+ years. Chasing sweat, connection, and that split second when the room comes together and lifts.

Widely regarded as one of Australia's finest and most respected DJs, she co-founded Bad Dog in Sydney, a music and arts collective, and has played the big rooms, the back rooms, Berghain, all of it.

Annabelle doesn’t play it safe. She digs for sounds that pull you in, stretch you out, take you somewhere you didn’t expect.

If the music can lift you somewhere else, even for a few minutes, that the real magic.

U N R U S H is an experiment in sound, a crystalline vision of eternal pause. Through our record label, podcasts, and event series we focus on presenting a diverse array of alluring ambient music. With each guest contribution we search for a serene space within the mind that is free from the encumbering stresses of daily life. Our events will act as a platform for distinguished artists and take place in stunning cultural surroundings both in the city and in nature, taking a step away from the pounding hedonism of the club to showcase the other side of electronic music.

- no podcast inquieries or demos please -

Hailing from Eora/Sydney, and having recently moved to London, Zac Walls’ sound reflects his wide range of influences. No matter the setting, Zac’s selections showcase pioneering sound design. His sound is dominated by transient atmospherics and considered texture, deep bass lines, and hooks that keep the movement on the dance floor. 

The art of story telling is not lost on Zac, and he aims to take the audience on this journey. Zac aims to find the balance between energising and challenging an audience. 

One half of obfuscate, Zac finds himself closely connected with the Eora underground scene, but always pushing for novel sounds.

*Vadim Svoboda of Makesense about my Rupert Wall mix:  "GREAT MIX Katharine, I have nothing to say but: tight, personal, varied but very homogenous... top notch."  

*Feeder Sound Romania: “her recordings are intense and with a sophisticated perspective on sounds and rhythms." 

Those who crave nourishing sonic sessions have followed Katharine’s journey along the Australian East Coast alongside her musical partner Ben Abrahams for over two decades as they’ve influenced the scene with their exciting taste & consistent delivery of stimulating underground house & techno, in clubs & outdoors. Known for 'that sound', they uncompromisingly brought West Coast house to the Australian underground scene.

Together they created ‘Strange Brew’, an all ages acid-house vinyl party at the Billinudgel Pub, Byron Bay, & for their first gatherings there, the infamous 'Shed' was built;  revelling in the Outback for sunset was deliciously surreal, dancing to stripped back house grooves amongst the gum trees. 

They ran eight extremely memorable years of Saturday nights at Elsewhere Bar on the Gold Coast. Katharine played psychedelic house before Ben's killer 5 hour sets, then both joined together for the heaving sweaty early morning hours.  Elsewhere won Best Music for a Club in Australia at the Sydney Bar Music Awards at that time. All vinyl back then.

Katharine had the first of her two children before returning to Melbourne and putting on high-vibe parties at the infamous Killing Time Bar & My Aeon,  always with a tight crew of Australia’s best underground djs.  

Katharine made mixes for Art-E Romania and the Microtechno Podcast series 10 years ago, having long been recognised for her way with intricate sounds, particularly with Romanian collectives and lovers of micro-house &  minimal.  She appreciates music which alludes to the transcendent - both gently & powerfully.  As an undeniably charged up being she just keeps on lovingly creating fresh soundtracks for her friends’ lives. Last year she made 21 mixes for amazing collectives around the world, including Half is Enough Romania's Strangers in the Night: each session is an experience. 

Her unique way elevates and deeply satisfies at both sunset & sunrise, and she has played magical closing sets out in the forest, most recently for the Comfort Zone crew on their final day on the main stage by the creek. 

Find her playing at Killing Time Bar & Fiftyfive Bar: where she seamlessly mixes fresh minimal with the best of early 2000s West Coast house, she's at Motion:Theory parties & playing for local crews, but experience her anytime through the Motion:Theory mix series and the sessions she makes for collectives who appreciate her taste and storytelling ability: 
it’s LUSH MINIMAL for the dancefloor.
